+1. I modified my diesel truck to be a towing highway queen. It's stock low (very low for a heavy duty truck since the differentials are so big and low) and put highway only e-rated tires on in a smaller size.
This past week at the OBX I took it to the 4wd only beach and ended up getting stuck. The rear differential dragged the truck (you could see the differential cover imprint on the sand all the way with my wheel tracks) down and with small, highway only tires it ended up getting us stuck in the deep stuff. I was like well, a small lift and some bigger nice all-terrains and it would be a beast. That would be retarded.
In 2 years, first time I have used it really "off-road". Makes zero sense to modify 1x or 2x a year. Just pay attention and don't go in foot deep ruts. I was fine once I avoided the deep stuff.
